I hope everyone had a good National Trails Day yesterday. As you probably know, wildfires in this area are not uncommon, and are most frequently caused by humans. Sometimes these fires are not accidents such as the Esperanza wildfire in Riverside, California in October, 2006. This fire claimed the lives of five firefighters. It also destroyed 70 square miles of land. Two days ago the man arrested and charged with starting the fire was sentenced to death. Read more here.

Less than a month before I go to see Nicole. That will be pretty excellent.

The rest of the day (geez, it's only 9 a.m.?) is for long dog walks, farmers market, perhaps some ocean swimming...bye now.
